New Small Business? Consider Leasing
Equipping a new business is not easy. It is an uphill battle. The challenge lies in getting the equipment that allows you to stay in stride with competitors while maintaining working capital. Perhaps the best way to accomplish this is via equipment financing. The Small Business Association (SBA) suggests that equipment leasing is a way to “make cost effective purchasing decisions”. However, how can you decide whether leasing is good for your business finance?
Pros of Equipment Leasing
Obviously the foremost reason to finance is the benefit of keeping cash on hand. Still, there are other reasons that small business owners should consider. Let’s take a look at a few.
Time
Trying to find financing for your business keeps you away from running your business and getting other important matters rolling. Filling out an array of applications can cause you to lose days or even weeks. Leasing is usually much easier and less stressful.
Newer equipment
Leasing allows you to have continual access to the latest and greatest equipment. This alone can add a competitive advantage while not depleting your working capital.
Avoiding maintenance
Most leasing agreements have maintenance statutes included that can spare you from costly repairs. Additionally, if equipment does breakdown the financing company will usually replace the equipment immediately.
Tax savings
Sometime the use of leased equipment gives your business annual tax deductions. Several items leased or rented are fully deductible under IRS codes.
